Well i was on a roll with this today, managed to get all sensors plugged up, all water pipes back on , all the breathers etc etc. got ecu back in, took it out to look what chips it had, turned out it has "superchips" chips lol.

only thing to do now is, bolt downpipe back upto turbo, refit afm and afm pipe, refit boost pipes. fill up with coolent, sort the 2 leaking fuel pipes. an then its time to see if its alive :lol:

Well it runs :cool

for how long who knows ? :lol:

havent had it running long but runs well considering it hasent been started in 5 years and has just had the top end off and fiddled with, lifters need to settle back in as there tapping tho it is minor.

after fixing all obvious fuel leaks several others have started. so currently waiting to buy alot of fuel pipe and replace most the piping under neith to see if it sorts it
